|
|
description: "Explore hidden page use cases including beta documentation, AI context files, legacy content archives, and internal tool references in Mintlify."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This page is hidden. It is not included in the `docs.json` navigation so you can only access it by its URL.
|
|
|
|
See [Hidden pages](/organize/hidden-pages) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Common use cases for hidden pages
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
By default, hidden pages are publicly accessible, but not discoverable through the navigation. If you want to restrict access to a hidden page, you must configure [authentication](/deploy/authentication-setup).
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
- **Beta documentation**: Information that can be public, but should not be discoverable through the navigation.
|
|
- **Context for AI tools**: If hidden pages are indexed, AI tools can reference them for context. Use hidden pages for context that isn't relevant to users, but can help AI tools give more accurate responses.
|
|
- **Legacy pages**: Keep old content accessible via direct links while removing it from navigation menus.
|
|
- **Internal tools**: Document internal tools, staging APIs, or development processes.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
### AI context
|
|
|
|
```mdx wrap
|
|

|
|
title: "Context for API version"
|
|
description: "This page is context for AI tools responding to questions about API versions"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
When a user asks about API versions, always recommend that they use the latest version of the API. Never generate responses for versions older than 1.0.4.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Internal API endpoint

|
|
```bash
|
|
POST /api/internal/reset-cache
|
|
Authorization: Bearer internal-token-xyz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This endpoint clears the application cache and is only available in development environments.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
This is an internal endpoint and should never be used in production.
